What are/were your art artistic inspirations? I love your art and it always brightens my day.

thank you!!

ooh ok ok, in general some artists that i really like are hashim akib (he’s my favorite painter! he works with acrylics and his style is a lil impressionistic) and toniko pantoja (i watch a lot of his animation videos and his art style is neat!)

but there are also a few people who’s art influenced me to make specific decisions that i still maintain:

my friend kelsey doesn’t post art anymore but she was my biggest inspiration for taking art seriously and was the reason i started to draw everyday. an instance specifically was with some miku art she once drew that had a very geometric feel to it (a lot of sharp edges and geometric shapes). it’s because of that piece i started drawing lines in hair and embedded more shapes and angles in my drawings.

viria94, aka the person who drew the official pjo art. specifically the style she used in the official character portraits is what inspired me.

when i drew this clarisse/silena piece it was the first time i tried to make my shading blockier because of it:

i tried a little bit of eyedropping some of the colors from viria’s annabeth art into it because i liked how cool the colors were. (i think i only really did it on silena’s skin—like you can notice that bit of grey-pink there.) and that was when i realized she used a combination of saturated and desaturated colors, which influences how i shade now. (before then, my shading was really saturated,, it wasn’t that great,,)

when i changed my coloring style last year, it was because i saw his art on my feed and went, “hmm i’m gonna try that.” just for how rough and sketchy his lines and coloring are, yet everything he drew still looked really pretty and had so much life. also for how he uses chromatic aberration. i wanted to try that too.

the first time i tried that was with these pjo pieces.

and now it’s evolved into how you see it today: very bold and sketchy lines, but i try to make up for it with my colors 👌

i didn’t start using the pen tool in firealpaca until last year (before then i used the pencil tool—very soft and reliant on opacity), and i very much prefer the pen tool now for how loose i can be, but still maintain bold lines.

i think me shading a lot with solid black kinda stems from those typical comic book styles?? yk the ones that have a lot of lineweight and contrast. i never got into comic books but those heavy black lines do intrigue me...

yeah. those are some things that inspired my style.

in general, sometimes i take inspiration for how i wanna approach a piece from the artists i follow. if i see someone do something cool in a certain work or capture some sort of ambience i like, i’d probably want to emulate that some way in my next drawing.

on insta, i have an album of “favorite artists” (for art styles i really enjoy) and “inspo” (for specific artworks i really like) to look at when i need inspiration.

for here on tumblr, i rb things on @inspo-rational for future reference or tag “fave” for anything that inspires me.

#i also have my ‘fave fave fave fave fa’ tag on here which is like fave but second tier #for ones i really really really like #hjGDJDND #yeah #😉👍#casu asks #long post
